Tissue Paper Flowers
Tissue paper flowers are a great way to introduce preschoolers to the beauty of flowers in the spring. Cut tissue paper into flower shapes, and teach the kids how to layer and fold them. Use pipe cleaners to create stems and then arrange the tissue paper flowers in a vase.

Planting Seedlings
Spring is the perfect time to get your preschoolers interested in gardening. Have them plant seedlings in small pots or cups, and then have them decorate the pots with paint, stickers, or markers. This art project not only teaches them about plants, but also helps them develop a sense of responsibility.

Butterfly Mobiles
Most preschoolers love butterflies, and making butterfly mobiles is a fun and easy art project to do with them. Cut out butterfly shapes from colored paper or cardstock and have the kids decorate them with crayons, markers, or paint. Then, punch a hole in each butterfly and string them together on a string or ribbon. Hang the butterfly mobiles in a sunny window, and watch them twirl in the breeze.

Birdhouse Painting
Birdhouses are a great way to attract birds to your yard while also providing a safe haven for them to make their nest. Purchase some pre-made birdhouses and have the preschoolers paint and decorate them with colored markers or paint.

Milk Carton Bird Feeders
Making milk carton bird feeders is another fun project that will attract birds to your backyard. Cut out a large rectangular opening on one side of a milk carton and then have the kids decorate the outside of the carton with paint, colored markers, or stickers. Next, fill the carton with birdseed and hang it in a tree where the kids can watch the birds enjoy their creation.

Cherry Blossom Paintings
Springtime brings beautiful cherry blossoms, and sometimes, preschoolers are not able to appreciate their beauty by seeing them in person. But with their imagination, they can create beautiful paintings. Have the kids use pink and white paint on canvas or paper to create their own cherry blossom masterpiece.
